Every Muslim in the village has so far boycotted the election, with just half an hour to go for voting to end.
Some Muslim men were arrested, tied to a pole, and flogged with canes by police personnel in the Kheda district. Crowds were seen cheering as officers watched plain-clothes cops hit the men.
The men were reportedly asked to "apologise to the public", and the police inspector in charge of the area was present too.
